My first inclination would be the the control linkage rod is a little out of adjustment causing the 3 pt hitch to hunt. What’s the position of the draft control? All the way down I assume.

I would have to check my lug nut size. I use a 3/4 drive SAE socket when I adjust mine because I don’t have any metrics that size. I will check the SAE size and edit this post if someone hasn’t answered by then.

yes the nuts are 35 mm or 1-3/8 inches if you can’t find a 35mm.

Still thinking the control linkage rod is not adjusted properly. The reason i asked about the draft position is because the control linkage is used by the draft control for load sensing. in Other words, the draft control senses load change and raises or lowers the 3 pt accordingly. Mine was out of adjustment and I could raise the implements but at the top of the travel, the pressure relief valve was making noise along with the 3 pt shaking moving up and down. Correct adjustment fixed the problem.
